How to eat healthily

All doctors and nutritionists agree today on the need to eat healthily, which can be summed up as follows: fewer refined products, fewer processed products, less sugar, less salt, less bad fat, not to forget fewer ready-made meals and pesticides in our food.

In other words, "eating healthily" means choosing the "right food" for your meals.

But don't forget that eating healthily also means:

Eat your meal properly - take your time to chew, to aid good digestion and for better absorption of the food. 15 to 20 minutes after beginning the meal, chewing brings about the secretion of a neurotransmitter that signals the brain to stop eating. This signal of repletion is disrupted by fatty and sweet foods, as tasty as they may bePyramide

Relearn the real taste of food. Our sense of taste is frequently clouded by all the additives, flavour enhancers, artificial flavourings, emulsifiers... making all food taste the same. Rediscover different regional and seasonal products, which will also help you to eat healthily

Cook for yourself as often as possible. Cooking encourages you to take care of yourself and of others, to enter into contact with the food, to transform it…

Share. There's nothing like a meal taken amidst a nice, friendly atmosphere

Eating healthily: a few daily habits

Eat a richer meal in the morning rather than the evening. Remember the saying "Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper".

Eat fresh products as much as possible. Say yes to local and seasonal products; transport, storage, preservation… all reduce food quality. A new way of doing your shopping, new self-organisation… for your own well-being.

Favour raw fruit between meals. Taken during meals they slow down the digestive process. A good time would be 10.00 to 11.00 and 17.00 to 18.00.

Eat raw products at the beginning of the meal. They trigger beneficial digestive enzymes.
